Today's sophisticated supply chain requires complex planning and implementation capability and advanced IT. Christian Salvesen is at the forefront of the industry's technological revolution.

Transportation of products is now taking place more rapidly and frequently and in smaller consignment sizes to replenish retail outlets. This rapid movement of goods has resulted in an increasingly complex supply chain and rapid exchange of information.

The movement and storage of goods is underpinned by technology which provides essential information on the exact location of consignments in the supply chain, stock levels and delivery times.

Operating seamlessly with customers' IT systems

Electronic communications are the life blood of today's logistics industry and at Christian Salvesen we believe our systems integration is one of our clear commercial strengths. In fact, this was proved during a recent survey of what our customers thought of our IT system.

We receive more than 75% of customer orders electronically and we return information to them this way too. Deliveries, receipts, balances and management information can be available through the internet on-demand or scheduled overnight.

Our customers can always talk directly with experienced technical staff, who have already experienced integrating with systems such as SAP and many other management systems for planning resources. We understand how difficult and costly it is for a business to change their established system and are happy to do our best to make our systems compatible.
